  • How much budget was spent on the project?

    The project was created under a P25.6-million budget.
  • In a statement, the public works department noted that the construction of the 1.04-kilometer road — undertaken by DPWH Negros Occidental Third District Engineering Office in partnership with the Department of Tourism (DOT) — provides access to roads leading tourist destinations there.

    Created utilizing a P25.6-million budget, the road project includes the construction of grouted riprap and stone masonry, provision of metal guardrails, application of thermoplastic pavement markings, and installation of solar LED lights. 

    According to DPWH Regional Office 6 Director Nerie Bueno, the concrete road gives access to Punta Bulata, a white beach that has pristine blue water and a quality resort that can accommodate local and foreign tourists.

     With the improved road, fisherfolks can also easily transport their products at a lower cost and residents now have better access to the national road leading to government facilities and other commercial establishments,” Bueno added.
